Tonka bomba

Holy tonka moly! That is one beautiful tonka blast for a top note! Impressive. The next phase of warm-boozy tobacco-amber is a bit too alpha-male for me, but I admit the quality is good. Pretty soon everything dissolves into tonka-ambrox nothingness, only vaguely reminding one of the opening notes.

This does not last long enough to function as a date night scent for youngsters wanting to smell mature and classy, but scent-wise that is how I would classify it.

Does the tonka become marzipan like?

I never thought of that but now that you mention it, I guess tonka does share a few things with marzipan generally speaking. There’s a nuttiness to it and a burnt facet. But I didn’t get a sweet or gourmands connection. This is boozy at first and later it becomes more ambroxy. I can recommend the discovery sets
